Resumo

This study aim was to verify whether milt quality of male Leiarius marmoratus is maintained among successive samples collected during the same reproductive period. Ten reproductively mature males were used to evaluate four successive sperm samples collected at 10-day intervals. For these collections, seven males were injected with carp pituitary homogenate (CPH) at a dosage of 3.0 mg/kg body weight, in two applications (30% and 70%), at an interval of 10 h. The other three males were administered only saline (control). Injection with CPH or saline occurred prior to each of the four collections. Only one male from the control group released a small volume of milt (0.33 mL), and only during the first collection period. Of the seven males treated with CPH, five released milt during all four collections. Milt volume of the first sample collected (0.63 mL) did not differ from that of other samples (0.59–1.38 mL; P > 0.05). Sperm concentration was greater in the first samples collected (1.98 × 109 spermatozoa/mL) compared to the other samples (0.35 × 109 at 0.92 × 109 spermatozoa/mL; P < 0.05). Sperm motility, curvilinear velocity, straightness, and morphological normality did not differ among the consecutive samples (P > 0.05). Average path velocity, straight-line velocity, oscillation, linearity, progression, and membrane integrity decreased slightly in the samples collected subsequent to the first sample (P > 0.05). In conclusion, milt quality decreased among successive collections; however, quality of all samples from all collections was sufficient for use for fertilization of oocytes.
